On Friday, June 21st, 2013, Northbrook-based charity Gear for Goals (G4G) is partnering with the Schaumburg Boomers Baseball Team to present a large scale sports and musical instrument donation drive. On this day, G4G is asking the nearly 7000 fans that will be in attendance to bring along new and used sports equipment and/or musical instruments to donate to children in need. In return, fans will receive a discount for a future Boomers game.

G4G hopes to fill an entire semi-truck full of sports equipment and the gear collected will help underprivileged youth in the city and suburbs. Also, the gear will go to some of the many countries G4G now ships to through charity partners’ Divine Word, Gift in Kind, and Bright Hope.

G4G currently ships to the Dominican Republic, Kenya, Bolivia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Russia, Philippines, Jamaica, India, and Cuba. In total, G4G seeks to provide equipment to over 10,000 children this year through their 10,000/$10,000 campaign.
